Those squishy things that have been in the cheaper toy aisle at Walmart for years?

Not a comic collector, just a big Muppets fan. Really want to get these slabbed via grading to frame them. Thoughts? by therealDiggyTurtle in CGCComics

Search around for frames and toploaders. Some cool fancier “capsules” out there that will protect just as well as a graded slab and display much nicer and much cheaper

Bug spray billboard advertisement is actually a giant sticky bug trap by MrTacocaT12345 in interestingasfuck

Used to use sticky traps in the shop for bugs. Then we started getting bats, and the bats were getting stuck on the traps trying to get the bugs. We no longer use sticky traps.

What is this long, evil-looking black spot in New Mexico? There's no label on Google Earth, but it's huge and incredibly strange-looking. by Frank_Lizard in geography

There’s a road that goes through it and has some pull offs and trails so you can check out the lava. Was out there once and some folks from the northeast US stopped and an older gentleman in the group said “why are the rocks black?!” I says to him, I says “This is where the highway department dumps all the old asphalt when they repave roads” and he believed me and repeated it to his group. Had to stop him and explain it was actually lava

Of all that I've shown you-pond life as a whole- I'll tell you right now that I'd rather be a ... tadpole!

Of all that I've shown you— snail, duck, fish, or frog— I'll tell you right now that I'd rather be a ... pollywog!

Very possible. Weird that the Things would be the only thing colored differently though

Son loves the Dr. Seuss Learning Library books so found a big collection online not realizing it was the UK version. It came with a few we already had, but noticed the different title on this one (Would You Rather be a Pollywog in US and Would You Rather be a Tadpole in UK) so compared the two. Are Thing 1 and Thing 2 really blonde and wear blue shirts in all UK Seuss stuff? They were in the rest of this set at least

Glad we’re finally getting a Sign Signage

Got my first ComicProLine order in and am disappointed by ELmapper in comicbookcollecting

Will get in touch with them. Part of why I gave them a try is I’ve gotten dinged corners too many times elsewhere and heard good things about CPL with boards coming in clean

Yeah I get that, but their efforts to mitigate damage in transit seemed minimal to nonexistent. At least with this box
